youthful speaker, with affected inno-
cence. as Captain Flagg turned away
to hide smile.
"Oh, Joe Whitney, you're just as
bad as ever" Polly exclaimed, despair
ingly; and then, remembering that the
polite usages of society called for a
formal introduction, she added:
..Joe, this is Tad Thorne-I hope
you'll be ever so good friends"
..How are you, Tad?' said Joe, with
a shy twinkle in his eye
..How are you Joe?' awkwardly re-

Yet Joe's badness was nothing so
very bad, after all. He was only one

are in mischief; and neither the pro-

STRIKES as a general thing do NJ

STRIKES as general thing do not
accomplish much for the laborers; and
it is TO be regretted that they are re-
sorted to. When a man finds his
wages cut down so he cannot live, he
had best quit and go peaceably on
his way in search OF another and bet
ter job. Commenting on this subject
Peaks Sun, of Milwaukee, says:
The printers strike, alluded to last
week, is over, and the printers were
beaten at the game. Many who
struck have lost their situations forever,
and have become walking delegates,
looking for a job. Some of the best
printers, who have families, and who
did not want to strike, but were COM
PEELED to, have been taken back, as in
dividuals, but not as union printers.
The three Offices affected by the strike
are now non union offices. The strike
was ill-advised, and the proprietors
had to win or give up their business
into the hands of employees, who
would have kindly fixed rates, and LEI
the proprietors pay bills the best way
they could.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

We take this from the Charlotte
Chronicle. 1t SAYS:
1t is very probable that the yea 81
will witness great activity in railroad
building in North Carolina. A large
number of new lines are now on foot,
and the future alone can tell whether
they will be completed or not. The
extension of the Carolina Central to
Asheville is taking tangible shape.
A bill, charterlng the line along this
extension from Rutherfordton to Ashe-
vile, has passed the House in compli-
ance with the wishes of the company,
as also has the bill allowing the coun-
ties through which it passes to subscribe
stock to this enterpize. Wilmington,
the eastern terminus of this road, seems
much interested in the completion of
the road, and the Star, in late issue,
draws bright picture of that clty's flu
ture, when the Carolina Central shall
run to Asheville. "There will be,
by and by" says the Asheville cores
pendent of the Charleston Meas and
Courier, "when the Asheville and
Spartanburg road will carry freight, a
decided competition between Whining
ton and Charleston for the trade of
this section. AS it is now nearly every
thing is bought from markets north of
Mason and Dixon's line, but in the near
future it is thought that these two South
ern seaports will attract the attention
of Western Carolina merchants. The
question of compartive excellence of
the Southern and Northern markets,
together with comparison of freight
rates, would be interesting reading to
merchants here; and if Charleston can
compete with New York and Baltimore,
it is thought that the commercial init
macy SO long hoped for between this
section and the "City by the Sea" may
be gradually established"

ANNISTON'S NEWSPAPER BOOM.

Admission, Alabama, is rapidly CON-
ing to the front, and is fully abreast
with the booms which are now rolling
over that State like huge waves along
the beach. A $4,000 stock company
has been formed for the purpose of pub
fishing a morning paper at Admission.
Mr.. Jas. R. Randall, Of the Augusta
Chronicle, is to be the editor-in chief.
The position of managing editor has
been rendered to Mr.. E. A. Oldham,
the present editor of the Winston
Sentinel From this combining of
newspaper talent, it seems that the
new journal is to have a first class
corps which will insure its success and
at once put it in the front rank of
Southern journalism. Mr.. Oldham
has newspaper tact, ability and expe-
renee and is we'll equipped for the
work before him in his new and en-
larged field. He has made national
reputation for his paper, the Sentinel,
and we shall regret to see him leave
the Old North State, and journalism
will lose one of its most enterprising
workers in the upbuilding of our COM
monwealth, and especially in herald
ing to the world the progress and ad-
vancement of the Twin City. In Sc
curing the services of Mr.. Oldham the
new Alabama enterprise has a writer
and worker Admission will not fail to
appreciate.
This leads us to say that if there is
one thing North Carolina is backward
in-and the fact cannot be success
fully contradicted-it is high appre-
citation of the young minds and tai
ents employed in welding the pen
which is now keeping North Carolina
so prominently before the world. This
is plainly seen in the fact that men
with ability, energy and push, are
readily recognized in other fields and
they do not hesitate to leave North
Carolina. We regret that such is the
case, but it is as true as preaching
Charlotte Chronicle.
The GOLD LEAF congratulates Mr..
Oldham upon the high compliment
paid him in the tender of the position
above mentioned, but offers its protest
against his leaving North Carolina.
The State, and Winston Salem in par
ticular, can i'll afford 10 lose his SER
vices. We know of nothing to the
contrary, and the Sentinel appears to
be doing we'll, but if it does not re-
ceieve that patronage it deserves, the
people of Winston and Forsyhe county
should offer him equal inducement

and encouragement as held out from
a distant State. 1t is mistake to al.
low our young men-in whatever de-
partment OF life they may be labor
iag-to seek homes in other States
that they may find sufficient apprecia-
ton of their talents and energies. We
need them at home. Mr.. Oldham has
newspaper tact and ability, is thor
oughly devoted to his profession, and
has labored industriously for the good
of his State and section, and the GOLD
LEAF repeats that it hopes he will de-
eide to remain where he is.
We admire the spirit of liberallty,
good sense and business judgment
displayed by the people of Statesville
when when Mr.. Jos. P. Caldwell, ed
itor and proprietor of the Landmark
of that place, was about to accept an
offer made him elsewhere. They knew
the town could not afford to lose the
services of such a man, that its news
paper was a most important factor ID
the growth and development of a
community, and they determined not
to let him 60. AS an ipducement to
keep him in their midst, working for
their common interests, the business
men Of the town bought a $1,000
power printing press and gave it to
Mr.. Caldwell. With this his capacity
for business and usefulness was more
! than doubled, and the wisdom of such
action is exemplifed in the fact that
to- day they have one of the brainiest
and best newspaper men in North Car
DINA working hard and contentedly
for the general good OF his State, and
county, and town, sending out each
week large and well edited paper,
advertising Statesville as no other me,
dunn could. The value of such a
paper to the town each year is worth
many times the cost of retaining and
supporting it.

For several months having been the re-

by our Southern people, it needs not
word from my pen, but l would like to
speak of st. Luke's Home and its interior
The building is situated on the corner of
Governor and Ross streets, and has the ap-

and during the four years it has been be-

of noble women, who without thought of
compensation leave their own homes with
their comforts, and come daily to the Home
to inspect the welfare and comfort of
others.
Mrs. Anderson the self-sacrfcing Mat
ron of this Institution is a large-hearted
woman, and think no one could fill her
place as we'll as she does; she seems to be
untiring in administering to the comfort Of
those under her care. And those who go
there with dainty appetites need not fear
that the housekeeper, Mrs. Cooke, will be
unmindful of their wishes for she delights

The nurses are kind, gentle and atten-

The servants are prompt, attentive and

must do their part to bring back health to
the sufferers.
Connected with this institution are Drs
Taylor, Wheat, Edward Mcclure, BocOck

Hunter Mcclure; he is all patient could

honors conferred than any physician in
the South. The first time he appeared be-

the personal friend and confident of our

in the South; and very recently he was one
